Abstract

The present work investigates instantaneous synchronization in multivariate signals. It introduces a new method to detect subsets of synchronized time series that do not consider any baseline information. The method is based on a Bayesian Gaussian mixture model applied at each location of a time–frequency map. The work assesses the relevance of detected subsets by a stability measure. The application to Local Field Potentials measured during a visuo-motor experiment in monkeys reveals a subset of synchronized time series measured in the visual cortex.
